Progress

Monday, June 19th

Nearly 1 month ago I did my first speed workout. It wasn't pretty - as I noted in that post, "my right shin started to hurt" - actually, I should have wrote "my right leg felt like it was going to fall off".

Today I did a similar, extended pyramid-style speed workout. 10 repeats of a quarter mile at the following speeds: (min/mile)

9:14, 8:34, 8:00, 7:30, 7:04, 7:04, 7:30, 8:00, 8:34, 9:14.

I felt solid - not much pain at all in my right leg. It was nice to make progress.

For anyone wondering, I think any normal treadmill goes up to speeds this high.
